Question

A global company has depots in various locations. A proprietary application was deployed locally at each of the depots, but issues with getting the consolidated data instantly occurred. The Chief Information Officer decided to centralize the application and deploy it in the cloud. After the cloud deployment, users report the application is slow. Which of the following is most likely the issue?

Options

  • AThrottling
  • BOverutilization
  • CPacket loss
  • DLatency

Explanation

When a locally deployed application is centralized to a single cloud region, users in geographically distant depots must now send every request and receive every response across much longer network paths. This increased round-trip time is the definition of latency, and it is the most predictable consequence of moving from distributed local deployments to a centralized cloud deployment. Throttling (A) would cause intermittent slowness tied to bandwidth limits, not consistent slowness for all remote users. Overutilization (B) could cause slowness but would typically be indicated by high CPU/memory metrics, and the question states infrastructure is not the reported issue. Packet loss (C) causes retransmissions and jitter but is typically identified through specific diagnostic tools, and latency is a more fundamental and expected consequence of centralization.
